Public release of LyX version 2.1.2
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
We are proud to announce the release of LyX 2.1.2. This is the second
|
|
maintenance release in the 2.1.x series.
|
|
|
|
LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing based
|
|
on the structure of your documents and not simply their appearance. It is
|
|
released under a Free and Open Source Software license.
|
|
|
|
You can download LyX 2.1.1 from http://www.lyx.org/Download/.
|
|
|
|
LyX 2.1.2 is the result of on-going efforts to make our stable version
|
|
even more reliable and stable. We have fixed a number of bugs and made
|
|
a number of improvements. These are detailed below. We strongly encourage
|
|
all LyX users to upgrade to this version.
|
|
|
|
The most important fix here is that we believe we have resolved the problem
|
|
that led several users to experience seemingly random crashes with 2.1.0,
|
|
sometimes resulting in dataloss. (This was bug 9049.) These crashes generally
|
|
happened when the user attempted to save a file containing a table, usually a
|
|
fairly complex table. A seemingly unrelated bug report concerning a crash when
|
|
trying to save a default template (bug 9236) led to the solution. That bug has
|
|
also been fixed.
|
|
|
|
Do report your bugs, then! It really does help make LyX better, often in ways
|
|
you might not expect.
|
|
|
|
So, if you think you have found a bug in LyX 2.1.2, open a bug report at
|
|
http://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome. If you're not sure whether it
|
|
really is a bug, you can e-mail the LyX developers' mailing list (lyx-devel
|
|
<at> lists.lyx.org) and ask.
|
|
|
|
If you have trouble using LyX or have a question, consult the
|
|
documentation that comes with LyX and the LyX wiki, which lives at
|
|
http://wiki.lyx.org/. If you can't find the answer there, e-mail the LyX
|
|
users' list (lyx-users <at> lists.lyx.org).
|
|
|
|
We hope you enjoy using LyX 2.1.2.
|
|
|
|
The LyX team.
